Doss

Doss is a beautiful baby name that is gender-neutral. The name Doss is of Latin origin. Most people with the last name Doss identify as Christians. The meaning of Doss is 'they are the hilltop' or 'one who lives on a hill.' The local surname Doss indicates that the person who first had the name previously resided in Schleswig-Holstein. It is the northernmost state in western Germany. The Doss family either owned property there or was born there. Doss was a nickname for someone who was exuberant or noisy. The old Germanic term 'dossen,' which means 'to speak out' or 'to create noise,' is the source of the name Doss. The surname Doss was initially discovered in East Friesland and swiftly expanded across Germany's northern coastlands, particularly to Holstein and Mecklenburg. The name had modest origins but rose to prominence for its influence on the developing medieval civilization. Later, it gained prominence as several branches of the same family bought remote estates, some of which were located abroad, constantly raising their social prestige by significant contributions to society. The name Doss may interest the Second World War enthusiasts as a nod to American battle medic Desmond Doss. He was the first conscientious objector who received the Medal of Honor.
